Gray Jr. now has 23 RBI’s on the season thru 21 games. Sure hit & contact skills are still work in progress but he’s walking over 10% of time & smoking the ball. Think he may be starting to click a bit.

 

Usually Carolina league is brutal on hitters yet every night, they are most exciting box score to check. Those kids are hitting!

Hopefully they can keep it up once Kannapolis leaves town, but it is good to see a lot of those guys starting to hit. Gray and Martinez are the obvious ones, but guys like Campbell, Hall and McGee are having really nice seasons as well.

Box: Nashville 11, Columbus (Indians) 0

 

Sounds Rout Clippers for Ninth Straight Win

Nashville puts up season-high 11 runs in most lopsided win of season

Reaction from the Clippers Twitter account

 

RHP Zack Godley a pretty solid depth piece, wonder if he negotiated another opt-out date down the line.

 

Full week with no Mario Feliciano.

Just linked to an extended video look at Biloxi's game from Wednesday in that Link Report for archiving purposes.

 

For Ethan Small fans, worth a viewing for sure.

I see the "Sleeper" is leading the Mudcats in hits, second in runs scored, third in RBIs, leads the team in walks, grabbed three bases thus far, and is not a Top 30 prospect...The question is not who is John Galt? Rather, the question is who is Gabe Holt?

Great for Holt, but he's a 23-year-old pretty high college draftee (7th round) in Low A ball. He should be playing well at that level. The test is going to be when he starts climbing through the system.

Box: Biloxi 3, Pensacola (Marlins) 1

 

Pitching Shuts Down Blue Wahoos In 3-1 Win

Lutz Doubles Twice in Victory

By Garrett Greene

 

Five pitchers combine, actually, don't want to lose count when they all threw well!

[Mass Haas]

Box: Carolina 12, Kannapolis (White Sox) 6

 

Mudcats Brew Up Third Straight Win Again 12-6

Holt, Martinez, Hall and McGee each had three hits in the Micro Brews victory

 

***

 

The Mudcats play this currently 2-19 especially pitching-poor Cannon Ballers team 24 times this season, with a Covid-adjusted opponent schedule for 2021.

 

Book it - we will continue to hear about switch-hitting Aussie catcher Alex Hall over the next few years.

A hitting coach update at Carolina, where the interim coach seemingly has done a fine job thus far based on the production thus far.
